Physical activity, sitting time, and screen time were entered in the model simultaneously and adjusted for age, sex, race, smoking, relationship status, employment, chronic illnesses, and COVID-19 public health restrictions. Education was excluded due to multicollinearity. b = adjusted unstandardized beta; SE = standard error. Black text and bold-face indicates statistical significance, set at p < 0.00278.
